How to Make Glass Triangles for Kaleidoscopes

Ben Gonyo here with Expert Village going over how to build a kaleidoscope. So we have our three glass pieces, our mirror pieces and now we are going to construct those in to the triangle, which is going to reflect our images to create the patterns. So what we want to do is want to stand them up in to a triangle, actually you want to make sure that they are clean. So I am working on a towel here. You can just make sure that there are not fingerprints, oil or hot glue or anything on them. I have done that before I turned the camera on so we are ready to go. Stand them up in a triangle shape. Hold them. I have got a piece of tape and you are just going to tape them together. You are going to make an equilateral triangle which is a triangle with angles of sixty degrees and here are some close ups of what it should look like.
